```
public class JFreeChart
extends Object
implements Drawable, TitleChangeListener, PlotChangeListener, ChartElement, Serializable, Cloneable
```
A chart class implemented using the Java 2D APIs. The current version supports bar charts, line charts, pie charts and xy plots (including time series data).
JFreeChart coordinates several objects to achieve its aim of being able to draw a chart on a Java 2D graphics device: a list of Title objects (which often includes the chart's legend), a Plot and a Dataset (the plot in turn manages a domain axis and a range axis).
You should use a ChartPanel to display a chart in a GUI.
The ChartFactory class contains static methods for creating 'ready-made' charts.
